KTWR special Christmas DRM broadcasts

The staff at KTWR wanted to give listeners with DRM receivers a Christmas gift this year. I have attached the schedule for our 2018 Christmas DRM broadcasts. We will be doing stereo mode B 64 QAM to Japan and ANZ/SP and mono mode A 16QAM to India. The latter set-up seems to be the best way to get decent audio and reliable decoding with the poor propagation we have this time of year. Japan and ANZ should get a very strong signal. (When we ran regular DRM broadcasts to Japan, we only used 32kW.)

Have a great time enjoying this year’s celebration of Jesus’ earthly birthday.
